Rules: 1. Make a journal entry here with the Box's BCID when you receive it 2. Take out whatever books you want 3. Put in close to as many books back in 4. PM the next participant for an address 5. Make Controlled Release notes and send the box out 6. Try to keep the box moving in a timely, responsible manner NOTE: this is a bookbox RAY. The last person on the list will get to decide what to do with the books at the end. It's suggested you start over again with the existing participants and ask on the forum if anyone else wants to join in. But it's up to you at that point.

I apologize for taking more books, and more cassettes, than I replaced. But since the stated intent of this box is to disperse the books, I might as well get an early start. And I simply could not figure out how to get all the books back in the box without taking an extra! Kate, you must do 3D puzzles for fun, in a poor light and with a marching band practicing outside your window. Anyway, there's still plenty of good stuff left.

Journal Entry 6 by JudySlump612 at by mail, Audio Book Box -- Controlled Releases on Saturday, March 31, 2012

Wow, this box is audio book lover's heaven! I got the box on Thursday of last week, but had a Grandson in the hospital and I've been watching the other two Grandchildren. He's going to be ok, and Grandmom has some time alone again. Will post tomorrow with choices and replacements.

Arrived safely yesterday, but I got home too late to open it up. Wow, there's some great stuff here! I thought I was prepared, but once again it looks as if I'll be facing some agonizing choices as I take only as much as I can replace.

Between subzero weather and three episodes of car repair, this took longer than expected. But it's on its way to jsmeltser today, media mail. Sorry, I thought I specified tracking, but didn't seem to get it - PO was ferociously busy.

Thanks so much for letting me participate!

PM'd the next participant and the box will be travelling again as soon as I have an address.

The box arrived safely and will be back on its journey in the next week.

I took out 24 cassettes total and put 24 back in.

I'll get the box on its way again in a few days, once I get the next person's address.

I got the box in today's mail. Wow, it must be close to 40 lbs, I thought the mailman was going to get a hernia:-) I had to push the box in my house with my hip. Lots of good choices but it's going to take a few days for me to go through it and find out what I want. I like to ask the next person if it would be ok to ship to you in two different boxes? hyphen 8, I don't know how you did it but the box arrived in great shape. I'll get back to y'all in the next few days with my choices.

I just realized this box is a ray so it looks like these books be staying with me unless someone else would like to join. Thanks hyphen 8 for the extra books! I'll give it a week and if I don't hear from anyone I'll put them on my bookshelf, and when I'm done with them I'll pass them on to v8cars in Australia, a fellow BC'er with vision problems. Great box y'all it's been fun.
